* fix copyright messages * remove all HAVE_HIGH_TABLES and HAVE_LOW_TABLES preprocessor hackery and instead use high_tables_base to find out if high tables should be used. The code path with high tables disabled and high tables not available for another reason should be the same. * put MP-table into Fseg instead of 0x10. This allows us to drop an huge and ugly portion of code. And it will make some ugly Linux warnings go away. * use ALIGN macro instead of hand crafted aligning. * renumber post codes in this piece of code (don't jump ahead and back anymore) Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <stepan@coresystems.de> Acked-by: Myles Watson <mylesgw@gmail.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk@4306 2b7e53f0-3cfb-0310-b3e9-8179ed1497e1 |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make * python * perl Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------- If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
